Endorsements for The Emerging Church:"It is rare for a church leader to bring both clarity of thought and passionate emotion to the needs of the future church. Dan Kimball does both, and he speaks as somebody who actually lives in the trenches. I'm grateful for his wisdom." —
John Ortberg, Author, If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat "In his research and ministry to post-seeker-sensitive emerging generations, Dan Kimball is emulating the apostle Paul: 'I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel.'" —
Luis Palau, Evangelist, Luis Palau Evangelistic Association "The future of the church in North America hinges on innovators like Dan Kimball and the ideas presented in this book. Vintage Christianity can be applied to new and existing congregations to help reach the next generation." —
Bob Buford, Founder, Leadership Network and Author of 'Halftime More Endorsementstop

Description: Includes ·Samples and photos of emerging church worship gatherings
·Recommended resources for the emerging church
The seeker-sensitive movement revolutionized the way we did church and introduced countless baby boomers to Jesus. Yet trends show that today’s post-Christian generations are not responding like the generations before them. As we enter a new cultural era, what do worship services look like that are connecting with the hearts of emerging generations? How do preaching, leadership, evangelism, spiritual formation, and, most of all, how we even think of “church” need to change?
The Emerging Church goes beyond just theory and gets into very practical ways of assisting you in your local church circumstances. There is no one right way, no model for us all to emulate. But there is something better. Dan Kimball calls it “Vintage Christianity”: a refreshing return to an unapologetically sacred, raw, historical, and Jesus-focused missional ministry. Vintage Christianity connects with emerging post-seeker generations who are very open spiritually but are not interested in church.
For pastors, leaders, and every concerned Christian, Kimball offers a riveting and easy-to-grasp exploration of today’s changing culture and gives insight into the new kind of churches that are emerging in its midst. Included is running commentary by Rick Warren, Brian McLaren, Howard Hendricks, and others.
